SAVE YOUR BACK Part One

LEARN HOW TO RELIEVE AND PREVENT YOUR BACKACHES.

Yoga and Yamuna Body Rolling give us some great, simple practices that can help those who experience backaches after working out, participating in sports, or as a result of stress and tension. This workshop is appropriate for athletes, parents and grandparents who are lifting young children, people who sit for extended periods of time at their computers, and those who are experiencing back pain due to the wear and tear of stressful lifestyle.

This workshop will help you understand how to relieve back of the body aches and stiffness that include Achilles tendons, calves, hamstrings, gluts, lower back, basically, the whole back of the body. Yoga emphasizes that we need long, strong, relaxed muscles for a healthy pain-free back. Most people often develop tight back of the body muscles, and then stretch incorrectly which can make matters worse, causing even more pain or discomfort.

We will learn about the basic causes of back pain and how to strengthen and relax the back using a combination of lumbar stabilization and strengthening exercises, yoga stretches, and Yamuna Body Rolling techniques.

This class will be taught by Susan Morton, who brings her own experience of learning to recover from a major back injury that occurred as the result of a car accident. Susan has both bulging and herniated disks and functions pain-free, managing her back through a variety of modalities mentioned above. Teaching from her own experience, she has helped many students over the years learn to manage their back issues and develop strong, relaxed, healthy backs.
